PX6420 Overview

Description

The growing use of the Internet has created increasingly higher demand for multi-Gb/s I/O performance. The demand and availability of 10 Gb/s+ WAN bandwidth fuels the growth of native 10 Gb/s infrastructures within MAN and enterprise datacenters.

Key Features

  • It consists of a transimpedance amplifier and an AC-coupled differential limiting amplifier
  • The transimpedance amplifier achieves a nominal bandwidth of 8 GHz over a wide range of photodiode input capacitance
  • A photodiode bias current monitor allows for a simple alignment procedure
  • The transimpedance amplifier is AC-coupled internally to a high-gain, high-bandwidth, limiting amplifier
  • Full diagnostics are delivered through loss of signal, squelch, and received signal strength indicator circuits
